Este trabajo se centra en la legendaria figura del renegado calabrés Dionisio Galeno más conocido como Uchalí que por su valor y sus dotes de estratega en las guerras cristiano-turcas por el dominio del Mediterráneo, especialmente en la batalla de Lepanto, de esclavo llegó a ser Rey de Argel y Capitán General del Mar. Primero hemos examinado documentos y testimonios de coevos y también las primeras biografías para presentar su figura histórica y, segundo, hemos analizado como cronistas y poetas del siglo XVI y dramaturgos de principios del XVII recogen y transmiten la extraordinaria imagen de este esclavo y rey.
